stances, and  advising  him  to  withdraw  him  from  the  Institution  ; 
provided  nevertheless,  that  nothing  herein  contained  shall  be  so 
construed  as  to  prevent  the  Faculty  from  suspending  any  Stu- 
dent when  the  same  shall  appear  necessary. 


CHAPTER  VIII. 

MISCELLANEOUS    REGULATIONS. 

1.  If  any  Student  shall  cut,  or  injure  the  buildings  or  furni- 
ture of  the  College,  or  in  any  manner  disfigure  or  deface  them, 
especially  with  obscenity,  profaneness  or  vulgarity,  he  shall,  be- 
side making  good  the  damage,  be  subject  to  such  other  punish- 
ment as  may  be  judged  necessary. 

2.  When  a  Student  occupies  a  room  at  the  beginning  of  a 
session,  he  shall  continue  in  it  until  the  end  of  the  session,  un- 
less a  change  be  permitted  or  directed  by  the  Faculty. 

3.  There  shall  be  no  ball  playing  in  or  among  the  College 
buildings  or  against  the  walls.  All  athletic  exercises  must  be 
kept  at  a  distance,  so  as  to  prevent  damage  to  the  buildings 
and  interruption  to  study. 

4.  It  is  recommended  to  the  Students  to  be  plain  in  their 
dress,  but  it  is  required  of  them  always  to  appear  neat  and 
cleanly.  If  any  Student  be  negligent  in  this  respect,  it  shall  be 
the  duty  of  the  College  officers  to  admonish  him  for  it,  and  if 
he  persevere,  to  report  him  to  the  Faculty. 

5.  If  a  Student  be  present  at  the  beginning  of  a  session,  he 
may  claim  the  room  occupied  by  him  at  the  end  of  the  pre- 
ceding session  ;  but  if  not,  it  may  be  inhabited  by  the  first  oc- 
cupant. More  than  two  persons  may  not  live  in  one  room  at 
any  time,  without  permission  specially  obtained. 

6.  No  Student,  without  permission  from  the  President  or 
presiding  Professor,  shall  go  beyond  the  prescribed  limits  in 
study  hours,  or  at  any  other  time  when  the  bell  may  call  him 
to  his  duty. 


22  UNIVERSITY    OF    NORTH    CAROLINA. 

7.  A  Student  shall  not  receive  visitors  into  his  room,  nor 
shall  he  visit  others  in  the  hours  of  study,  without  leave  from 
a  member  of  the  Faculty. 

8.  No  student  shall  disturb  or  attempt  any  imposition  on 
any  of  his  fellow  Students  in  any  manner  whatever ;  and  every 
Student  shall  preserve  order  and  decorum  in  his  own  room,  and 
shall  be  resj^onsible  for  all  disorder  committed  in  it,  unless  he 
give  information,  when  in  his  power,  of  the  person  or  persons 
from  whom  it  proceeded. 

9.  The  Faculty  may  interdict  any  house  in  the  village  as 
improper  for  the  reception  of  Students  as  boarders,  on  account 
of  the  irregularities  in  which  they  are  permitted  or  tempted  to 
live,  or  the  disorderly  and  pernicious  examples  set  before  them. 

10.  A  Student  may  not  occupy  a  room  for  residence  out  of 
College,  till  each  of  the  rooms  shall  have  two  inmates.  But 
Professors  may  receive  Students  to  reside  in  their  houses,  and 
the  Faculty  may  permit  a  Student  to  live  in  the  village,  when 
they  shall  judge  his  situation  requires  such  indulgence. 

11.  At  the  ringing  of  the  bell  the  first  time  in  the  morning, 
the  Students  shall  rise  to  prepare  for  business.  As  soon  as  the 
bell  shall  ring  a  second  time,  they  shah  repair  to  the  hall  with- 
out delay,  and  attend  prayers. 


CHAPTER  IX. 

OF    THE    LIBRARIAN    AND    LIBRARY. 

1.  No  person  but  a  Trustee  or  Member  of  the  Faculty  shall 
at  any  time  have  access  to  the  Library,  without  the  presence  of 
the  Librarian  or  some  officer  of  the  College. 

2.  The  Senior  Tutor  shall  be  the  Librarian,  and  at  the  end 
of  every  session,  shall  present  to  the  Faculty  a  written  report 
of  the  -state  of  the  Library. 

3.  Such  books-  as,  by  a  determination  of  the  Faculty,  ought 
not  to  be  taken  out  by  the  Students,  may  be  consulted  by  them 
in  the  Library,  on  such  days,  and  within  such  hours,  as  shall  be 
appointed  by  the  Faculty. 

4.  A  Student  may  not,  at  any  time,  take  down  a  book  from 
the  shelves  of  the  Library.  The  Librarian  alone  is  to  deliver  it 
to  him,  aud  return  it  to  its  place. 


UNIVERSITY    OF    NORTH    CAROLINA.  23 

o.  When  a  Student  shall  take  a  book  out  of  the  Library,  he 
■shall  sign  a  receipt,  in  which  the  book  shall  be  specified  by  the 
Librarian. 

G.  A  volume  shall  not  be  kept  out  of  the  Library  more  than 
one  week,  without  being  returned  to  the  Librarian,  and  the  re- 
ceipt for  it  renewed.  If  any  other  person  shall  want  the  vol- 
ume at  the  end  of  that  time,  the  one  who  has  already  had  it 
shall  not  then  take  it  out  anew. 

7.  When  a  book  shall  be  given  out  or  returned,  the  Librarian 
shall  examine  it,  to  see  if  it  be  damaged  or  defaced ;  and  if  a 
Student  shall  deface  or  damage  a  book  belonging  to  the  Library, 
he  shall  pay  according  to  the  damage  done,  as  estimated  by  the 
Faculty  even  to  the  replacing  of  the  set.  If  he  shall  lose  it, 
he  shall  pay  to  the  Librarian  its  value,  as  estimated  by  the 
Faculty,  or  else  he  shall  replace  it  as  above.  If  he  shall  fail  to 
return  it  in  two  weeks  after  taking  it  out  of  the  library,  he  may 
be  judged  to  have  lost  it,  and  the  Faculty  may  proceed  accord- 
ingly. If  a  Student  shall  refuse  to  comply  with  the  decisions 
of  the  Faculty  on  these  subjects,  he  may  be  admonished,  sus- 
pended or  dismissed,  as  the  nature  of  the  case  may  require. 

8.  The  Librarian  shall  keep  a  catalogue  of  all  the  books  of 
the  Library.  If  any  book  shall  be  presented  to  the  University, 
the  name  and  residence  of  the  donor  shall  be  recorded. 

9.  The  Librarian  shall  appoint  a  day  and  hour  for  delivering 
and  receiving  books,  and  shall  attend  once  a  week  for  these 
purposes. 

10.  While  the  Students  are  attending  at  the  Library,  they 
shall  observe  an  orderly  deportment. 

11.  A  Student  shall  not  lend  a  book  which  he  has  taken  out 
of  the  Library,  without  permission  from  the  Librarian.
